According to court documents released on Tuesday March 2nd, FanDuel faces a class action lawsuit filed by a user of its gambling app for allegedly delaying scores and enticing users to make losing bets.
The lawsuit alleges that FanDuel knowingly delays real-time scoring causing bettors to place losing wagers.
The complaint states:
FanDuel Faces Class-Action Lawsuit For Allegedly Delaying Real-time Scores and Enticing Losing Bets“While purporting to provide its customers with real-time, live sports game data, FanDuel regularly understates the time remaining in live sporting events to induce its customers to make wagers they are more likely to lose”
The plaintiff is seeking damages from the company, but most importantly, an order stopping FanDuel from operating its app until scores are accurately reported in real time.
